did you get the bottom side of the lights?
is the back rubber fittament still intact?
are you sure there was no water inside the lights to start with?
water + heat = fog from evaporation
and once it cools down, that becomes water, and then itll evaporate again.. but wont be able to get out because you have it sealed shut
check all those and see whats up!
